I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream thread

A classic ice cream sandwich is the best.

I know it’s an obscure Bay Area brand of organic locally sourced ice cream and such is hipster trash but: Three Twins ice cream.

They even got the prestigious Sergio Romo endorsement.

Walnut ice cream is the Superior ice cream. It’s very hard to find, but well worth it

Rollin with a tub of this in my freezer right now.

let me hit y’all with an Ice Cream life hack:
scoop out a heaping spoonful or two of peanut butter into a bowl
melt it in the microwave for like, thirty seconds tops probably less, watch it because if you aren’t careful it’ll start to cook and you don’t want that
pour that onto vanilla ice cream and top with chocolate sauce
if you really want to go nuts with the textures sprinkle on some peanuts and or chocolate chips, now we’re talking
bon appétit :kissing_smiling_eyes::ok_hand:

There was a sale on ice cream today at my local store.

My stomach hurts.

I searched, and if anyone mentioned it, it didn’t turn up: Cardamom is the best ice cream.

when i was a student-teacher i did a bit in a primary school where i was teaching kids what surveys are using what their favourite ice cream flavours are out of the traditional chocolate, vanilla, strawberry triumvirate, and one bourgy little dude kept insisting his favourite wasn’t vanilla, it was vanilla bean. anyway that’s my ice cream boy story please like and subscribe for more of this good content.

Ice cream is my number one fave ever… since I live on the west coast, its even better because we get Tillamook ice cream which is so freaking good and doesn’t freeze up like a rock and it has the best flavors everrrrrrrrrrrr.

The best flavor of course doesn’t come out till around Christmas time. Their peppermint bark ice cream which is white chocolate ice cream with chunks of peppermint bark and chocolate ITS SO GOOD WHY CAN’T I HAVE IT YEAR ROUND T___T

Also halo halo from Jolliebee is an experience. If you ever manage to find one, please get some halo halo.

How No One Hyping Up the Rocky Road Though Like Chocolate Marshmallow and Nuts so good I personally Enjoy a rocky Road milkshake and if I’m ever at baskin robins I do a Rocky road milkshake and throw a scoop of Cookie dough in there

There a Stand in my town outside the asian market that that does matcha Kitkat Icecream Macaroon that are also the best thing in the planet but that’s a drive and there cash only and close at 9 so it hard to get out there when you work nights

When I was a kid, my teeth were ungodly sensitive to cold so I didn’t have ice cream much as it was very unpleasant. Never developed a taste for it.

I’ll have a vanilla dipped in chocolate if you twist my arm but it doesn’t do much for me. I’m a monster, I know. I will straight ruin a freeze pop though.

The song ruined my ability to retain the actual definition of irony, so I think it’s ironic that I don’t eat ice cream when the shape of the roof of my mouth makes it so I’m incapable of getting brain freeze? Is that what an irony is? 30 years old, don’t even have a concept for what brain freeze must feel like.

I have never seen cardamom ice cream, where do you get it?

Only had it a couple of times at upscale restaurants, but there are recipes for it online. There isn’t, as far as I know, any store-buyable one.

That’s a shame. Maybe I can find a good recipe for it and try making some at home.

There is a Persian ice cream place in Little Tehran in Los Angeles that is very good. Their cucumber ice cream was a little much for me though.

While all ice cream is that #GoodStuff, even straight up chocolate which I don’t like very much just in general, Mint Chocolate Chip is the ice cream home where I hang my ice cream hat.

Slip me some of that good good Coffee ice cream though and buddy, I tell you, we’re in business.

If you live near a mexican ice cream place/ palateria, see if you can’t find mamay ice cream there. It tastes like nothing else I’ve ever eaten, in a way that is absolutely incredible. Even if you can’t, mexican ice cream is pretty fantastic on it’s own.

Oh, I have THOUGHTS on ice cream

  • Ben & Jerry’s ruined ice cream for a good 15 years.
    I don’t have a problem with Ben & Jerry’s itself, but for all of the 2000’s and most of the 2010’s, every manufacturer thought they needed to add umpteen different flavors and morsels to all of their ice cream. There were several years where I literally couldn’t buy just regular chocolate ice cream at the store, because everything had to have brownie bits or fudge swirls or chocolate-flavored pieces of chocolatey chocolate to their ice cream. It’s gotten better recently, which leads to number 2.

  • Turkey Hill Natural is the best mass-market brand ice cream available.
    Typically only 4-5 ingredients - milk, cream, sugar, and a flavoring. It’s divine, and isn’t filled with the preservatives and emulsifiers that leaves most grocery store ice cream in a state where it can return to room temperature ans still keep it’s shape. It is slightly grainier than emulsifier-filled brands, but that’s not an issue for me because

  • I always mush up my ice cream with my spoon until it approaches the consistency of soft serve.
    I just mash, stir, mash, stir, until it is perfectly smooth and creamy. It perfectly distributes the flavors and removes and graininess or ice crystals. Also, my wife thinks I’m a monster, but I’ve been doing it for 30+ years and I’m not stopping now.

gasp I’ve found my people! I smush up my ice cream too. And my entire family thinks I’m weird because of it. Really I am weird, but aren’t we all? And certainly not for smushing up ice cream at least.

The supermarket by my house sells individually-wrapped chipwiches and I’ve been eating more of them than I’d care to admit.
